Funny how things take you. I'm siting here, Sunday afternoon, with a stinker of a cold and feeling, at times, bloody miserable. I've been spending some of my time on the internet - quite a lot of it on Pinterest. (Yes, I've joined - just after Christmas. You can find me on www.pinterest.com/somechameleon) One pin led to another and I found myself back on Ben Pentreath's blog (Do all roads, like Rome, lead there?), looking for the name of a short-lived magazine published in the late forties dedicated to graphic design. 'Alphabet and Image'. A few more pins led me to a whole host on information on Robert Harling, co-founder of the magazine, including his very lovely house. And what a remarkable man he was - I'm tempted to call him a renaissance man: designer, journalist, novelist, editor. Worthy of a more detailed blog when I feel better. Though it is interesting how our interests develop, become more intense at a particular moment in time. I had read Mr Pentreath's blog sometime ago, but it was only this afternoon did it bear fruit.
